[QUOTE="Txhillbilly, post: 2400387, member: 22844"] About the shortest OAL the ELD-M bullets should be seated is 2.390". I shoot a bunch of them out of my 1-7 twist custom bolt action, but my barrel is chambered for them. My COAL is 2.550" shooting the 75 & 80 grain ELD-M's. With an AR, stick with the 75 or 77 grain BTHP bullet. If you can get some ASC metal magazines, you can load them out to 2.300" with them. They are the only AR magazine that I use. [/QUOTE]
